Austriamicrosystems launches LED driver for easy-to-use interface

On July 7th, Austriamicrosystems introduced the AS1115 LED driver for easy-to-use interface (UI), expanding its full line of LED driver products. The AS1115 combines display driver and keyboard scanning to provide a complete frontpanel solution that eliminates the need for a second microprocessor (μP) or other logic and discrete components to reduce bill of materials (Bill of Quantity and cost of Material; BOM).

Austrian Microelectronics has introduced the LED driver AS1115AS1115 combined with front panel activity control to drive 8 7-segment LED displays at 47mA per bit or 64 independent LEDs with 5mA per LED. It also includes an independent LED external resistor for easy current regulation. The AS1115 delivers ±3% accuracy, minimizing brightness variations between LEDs and LED modules, dramatically improving the quality of LED displays. The component also features a 4-bit PWM for full-area digital brightness control and independent dimming. In addition, the AS1115 provides readback for up to 16 buttons for a complete single-chip UI solution.

The AS1115 has built-in unique LED error detection. Design engineers can easily diagnose errors under normal operation through a simple and intuitive software operation interface. The solution detects any open or short circuits in multi-tasking 8x8 LED arrays and provides detailed error reports that indicate the location of damaged LEDs, significantly reducing test time during production.

Bruce Ulrich, director of marketing for the Austrian microelectronics standard linear division, said that today's consumer electronics or home appliance manufacturers are constantly facing pressure to reduce costs. The interface for most electronic products requires an LED display to display information and multiple operating buttons. In addition, LED debug detection is a very important factor in reducing the cost of testing, production and maintenance. The AS1115 meets these needs and assists engineers in designing operation panels for high-efficiency and easy-to-use set-top boxes, DVD players, washing machines, dryers and microwave ovens.

The AS1115 operates from a single 2.7V-5.5V supply. The regulator has a minimum supply current of 0.6mA during operation and 200nA in shutdown mode. The AS1115 is connected via I2C, and an I2C bus can connect up to four components. .
